What are the best ways to maintain integrity as a social media artist?

>>7610616 (OP)
Don't reference your own ass like pantsu-shitter

Repost smaller accounts and build integrity.

Maintain a healthy patreon.

>>7610616 (OP)
Didn't this guy troon out?

>>7610624
Yes.

Don't post on 4chan.

>>7610616 (OP)
Draw what you want and stop being an autistic mongoloid.

Never draw or engage with porn.

Don't fuck patreon sluts.

I think he broke up with his fat hog girlfriend they don't say they are married anymore on their bios

>>7610661
She already did what that one dominatrix did to the Wachowski bros.

>>7610637
no, you must remember where you came from

>>7610667
No, the advice is to never come here. Never even know this site.
An artist with integrity must feign complete lack of awareness about this part of the internet.
If you come here it is because you don’t care about the means or morality, you will do anything for a slim chance of being that prebeg schizo who rises out from the masses of permabeg crabs, stomps on the canvases of a thousand eternal ints and actually becomes a pro.
Those who come to this dark corner of existence have already cast away their humanity, it is either gmi or ngmi.
What we came from is all the same, autistic nihility.

>schizo drama dumping
literally who?

>>7610807
nah, he has a point

>>7610616 (OP)
Maintain little interaction with your followers. Dont be like khyle or alterkyon, not saying that they are a bad artists, but being too friendly with your followers especially on xitter, is like playing with fire. Either you will ended up submit to their 'culture' or they will destroy your career entirely because of one single 'mistake' that you yourself are not aware of.
So what you need to do instead is to interact with them modestly; like if they praise you, you respond with 'thank you', 'your welcome' or if they ask what software that you use to draw you answer with 'photoshop' or 'csp' but do not engage in their fandom, express your opinion, or do anything else in your art account, dont even try to build a persona, make a discord server with your followers, or even share your personal things in there. Always keep everything modest, limited, and professional
Also this >>7610800 - you can choose to keep hang in here or forget this place forever, but please for the love of godjak, never ever namedrop this site, not even once

>>7610620
I like reposting the smaller guys. Granted I'm not huge myself but the little guys always appreciate it, opposed to the popular artists with thousands of followers that everyone already knows about.

>>7610616 (OP)
by realizing you never had any to begin with

>>7610819
>popular artists with thousands of followers that everyone already knows about
I literally don't know any of them. Literal whos.

>>7610616 (OP)
You don't

>>7610818
And respect the limited contact with followers thing.... is it really bad if i have comments and DM locked and just post art and go away? Thats my social media plan. Maybe a retweet from time to time but thats it

>>7611926
For some it works. Hungry_clicker has 650k+ followers, gets tens or hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets, yet never replies, never retweets, never even posts any text at all most of the time unless it's official collab work.

>>7611935
Just looked it up. Thats exactly what i had in mind.
Is it considered rude to do that?
Thanks a lot.
Handling social media is my least favorite part of all of this...

>>7610818
pretty much this.
>TL:DR
Maintain distance and a professional composure. Be friendly but don't make any attempts to be familiar.

>>7610616 (OP)
If you're a weak-minded faggot who chases popularity and is susceptible to give into "Twitter humor," make it a point to nuke your profile and start fresh every year.

>>7610624
yes

>>7612113
I disliked him earlier but now I just feel bad. I don't want him to end like this, hopefully he will get better

>>7611946
You can just give like to all comments in your post if you dont want to reply to them, they will know that you like their comments because like is internet point and stamp of approval

>>7610800
You're a coward nigger. You should be public and proud to be from this site tranny faggot.

>>7610818
No. Name drop it. Be a proud 4channer

>>7612113
Gross man tit

>>7612124
Ah right good idea.
I think ive spent way too much time out of mainstream social media that i forgot about likes and such

>>7612182
Indeed, if you have no integrity you can be proud. Never said I had high morals, it was just advice for those who cared about a clean image.
I give phull support to your attitude saaar

Making art is like taking a shit. You get ideas and then have to make them.
If you don't make them, it causes problems. You feel like garbage, you struggle to take in new matter for new ideas.

And then bits of it will leak out when you REALLY don't want it to, mixing the stopped-up art with the other art you want to do.

You have to make the art you want to, like you have to take a shit.

>>7610620
>Repost smaller accounts
Only works on bsky, tumblr or shouting out on dA or something. On twitter you get put in the consoomer box for doing that, gg with your presence.

>>7610800
Fake and gay.

>>7610818
Only half-true. Yes be professional, sure.

But if you start to fear the people who follow you you done fucked up son. You have to do regular purges of your audience so that you get rid of the troglodytes that would rather backstab you when you draw something they don't like. They have less power without a critical mass of people who agree vs everyone else telling them to shut the fuck up and leave.

It's more important to be wary of who you get CLOSE to (which includes OTHER ARTISTS) because BPD fuckers will quite literally see no problem with lying if it soothes their own emotions.

>>7611946
It's considered "rude" by crab artists who don't know how this shit works and think twitter is a Congolese quid-pro-quo situation where everyone has to "move forward together" by collectively scamming the public. And who think they can gatekeep out people they don't like by forming cliques of circlejerk promotion.

That is why those people prefer bsky lol.

Integrity is about paying your debts and being honest. It's not about conforming to shitbags who don't understand how to have fun without social status points being involved.

Correct. People don't realize their potential if they never find this website.

/ic/ will castrate you and rip your balls off for unpopular opinions. You'll be black labeled and deemed threat level dragon in society.


Be advised.

Why are pornfags so defensive? lol
>y-y-youre a hecking puritan!!!! let people enjoy things!!!

>>7623105
Because they need it to survive. It’s gross

Akstually. All gooners develop specific fetishes eventually.
As previous pornographic genres and images stop being as stimulating, gooners scalate to more and more intense types of porn. Its called desensitization and its well researched:
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Porn+desensitization&btnG=

While not all gooners develop the fetish of trannyism, they develop other fetishes like Scat, Ryona, even cheese pizza and others. Its not about wether the gooner in question will develop a sick fetish, its WHICH one. ;)
Enjoy you mental illness.
